National sponsor Joann's is not sending a good message. Paige is photoshopping her pictures to look skinnier than Miss Volunteer America and state titleholders. Going from a size 20+ to a 2 in the same day is not physically possible. I would not want my daughter working anyone that distorts their body image this much. MVA really needs to watch who they are partnering with.

[> [> Subject: I disagree. She tried pushing my daughter to buy a dress that was way out of our price range. She then tried having me buy a dress of her resale consignment rack worn by other contestants that I found at another store brand new for less money. This woman is a con artist. It was refreshing to see the national winner not wear a dress from Joann's when she won. It shows that there are no politics and your gown doesn't need to be from Joann's like most contestants are pressured to believe in TN

[> Subject: I have to agree that this photoshopping is not sending a positive body image. I'm still in shock she thought there was nothing wrong with photoshopping her body to the point she is smaller than Alexa and the Iowa queens. Did Paige not think someone would comment on it? SMH.

[> Subject: I took my daughter to buy a dress there and I thought she was incredible: humble, polite, and fair. We traveled 4 hours to get there. She had pulled dresses in my price range that she thought would look good. If you don’t like her photoshopping, that’s your business. I don’t care what she does with pictures of herself. It was the BEST dress buying experience we ever had. Period.

[> [> [> Subject: You have no idea how much or how little was spent on the gown. It was one of a kind at a super price, and I AM a bargain shopper. We were treated like royalty and even fed a catered lunch that day! Both Paige and her mom were outstanding and I only spent about $800. That day. So- don’t try to say our experience was subpar. I’ve been to lots of other dress shops and this one was the best!
